The 2022 Chapbook Contest<\/h2>\n

Chapbooks are a huge milestone for poets<\/strong>, and we\u2019re always looking forward to the Frontier Digital Chapbook Contest\u2014where we get to find that one electric bundle of poems that rocks our world in less than 30 pages. We welcome manuscripts that need some polishing as our editors are always looking forward to working with the authors to make the book the best it can be for publication in 2023.<\/p>\n

The winner of the Chapbook Contest will receive\u00a0$2000 and publication of the free, downloadable chapbook on Frontier, and 50 physical author copies<\/strong>\u00a0to share and sell. Most exciting of all: the chapbook will also be\u00a0distributed to tens of thousands of readers, editors, agents, and magazines through our newsletter<\/strong>. Don\u2019t underestimate the power of this reach to empower your career as a poet.
